1. Rule of thirds- When the subject of the picture is not directly in the middle of the picture. ( Instead they are to the side or on the rule of thirds grid)
2. Balancing Elements- When a photo is "balanced", there are subjects on both sides of the picture with an equal amount of space taken up. (Visible by the eye)
3. Leading Lines- When there are lines in a picture (for Ex a road)  that lead to the subject.
4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)- When a picture has the same repetitive colors, subjects, pattern, or it is symmetrical
5. Viewpoint- The perspective of how you take a picture.
6. Background- Keeping the background simple so the subject pops out!
7. Create depth- While focusing on  a certain subject, making the rest of the photo "longer" can add detail. For example, a picture of a puppy with a blurred background of the mountains tells a story and adds more simplified depth to the picture by having the puppy not be the end of the picture.
8. Framing- When an object in your photo frames your subject.
9. Cropping- When you cut part of your photo off of your photo to make it "smaller", more attractive or less busy.
10. Mergers and avoiding them- A merger is when something merges in the back or foreground with our subject. Avoiding them is important because many times they can confuse what the subject is which can change the meaning of the picture. Also, they look tacky.

3. 
      Aperture: How much light is let into the camera lens and focus. Changes the lighting of the photo. high aperture:  focused with more light low aperture: blurry and less light
      ISO: Controls the Exposure. ISO is the sensitivity to light. Low ISO= less sensitivity while High        ISO= very sensitive
      Shutter Speed: The amount of time the picture is exposed to light. Quick Shutter speed = dark,            Slow Shutter speed= bright

4. I think editing the lighting if it is a dark photo is ok, but everything else is unacceptable. You especially shouldn't change the person's skin color, body features or anything in the photo that would portray a different story that is untruthful.

5. Portrait Types
Environmental- A portrait taken in the subject's natural environment that many times shows their job, home or hobbies.
Casual- A portrait taken of someone doing something casual like talking, laughing, walking, or smiling while ***not posing.***
Self- A portrait taken of someone posing or giving a planned facial expression to the camera.

6.

Exposure: The amount of light per unit area that reaches the light sensors within a photographed picture. Determined by the aperture and shutter speed.
Depth of Field: The focus of the photo is your subject with a background that tells a story but is blurred out.
Focal Length: Measures the distance between the len's light and the subject of the photo. Basically, the distance between the subject and image.

7. Magazine Cover Types:

Early- Magazines that developed a long time ago. First magazines ever!
Poster-  Magazines that look like posters and are very large. Had barely any words on them, just the image!
Married to Type- Magazines with a big title, a model with a pose, and cover lines all along the sides of the image that are placed around the subject.
Forest of Words- Magazines that have too many words in them, many times covering the subject.

Magazines Part 2

Image Based Magazine Covers: Image Based magazine covers usually have one to three people in the photo, all smiling and looking at the camera. Although that is the normal way to shoot an image based photo, some photographers use a different approach and shoot the person uniquely. For example, maybe the subject(s) are looking away from the camera or at each other. Maybe the subject(s) are frowning or smirking instead of smiling. These variations of an image based cover often hook many viewers as well because they are unique and diverse: what many people like also! Illustration Based Covers: Illustration based covers are used to present something unique, different or amusing. This type of magazine cover is usually used by independently published magazine brands that aren't correlated to other popular newsstand paper and magazine brands. These are usually very well thought out and they create a very meaningful drawing for readers to examine and think about. Illustrat

Critiquing Another Photographer's Academic Shoot

-
https://laurasphoto1.blogspot.com/2018/09/academic-shoot.html I chose to look at Laura's photos! Positive Feedback: 1. I like how Laura captures her rule of thirds picture. The boy has a slight smile on his face and the background includes good contrasting colors. 2. I like how in Laura's photo with the rule of lines the ceiling's lines lead to the girl working on her assignment. The lines on the locker also lead to the subject's paper! Improvements: 1. I think in her avoiding merger picture she could avoid having a merger by capturing the photo at a different angle. Instead of straight on, the camera could be looking down or up at the boy working on a paper.

My Favorite Cover

Favorite: Best Cover Winner GQ "The World's 50 Greatest Living Athletes," November 2017 Fred Woodward, Designer Pari Dukovic, Photographer "When the World's Greatest Living Athlete is also an off-the-court phenom in business, in movies, and increasingly in politics, the time allotted for a photo shoot is limited (it was 45-minutes from the frame to the last). But photographer Pari Dukovic nevertheless captured LeBron James in a timeless, almost deified image that shows the strength, fierceness, and regal nature of GQ’s November cover subject. One worthy of blowing up and framing like a piece of art (which we did)." This portrait of Lebron James is a formal portrait. It is my favorite because the picture presents Lebron as the “King” of basketball. Not only is Lebron wearing a golden leaf crown, but his face is shining because of the golden light which makes him seem like a “heavenly king”. This communicates Lebron James as a ve
